Issue with resetting board

The board is great the adaptive mode starts at a very slow pace but that could be good for someone who is just learning and along with that there is a issue either the pieces pulling each other when other pieces get dragged near each other
by the board other than that it is great

Board doesnt move confusing

I connect the board. Then start the game. Then it doesnt move anything on the board and only works in app. Very confusing broken ux. I got it to work once and now i cant get it to work again. It needs much better ux for connecting the baord within the game and setting the board up

Grand Kingdom Set

I was an early adopter of the Square Off company, purchasing their flag-ship product, the Grand Kingdom Chess Board. It is an excellent product, wowing my family and friends when they see the opposing chess pieces move by themselves, and equally when the pieces reset the board on completing a game. I had an issue last year when Square Off rebranded to Miko Chess, in that my Square Off app stopped resetting the pieces. I contacted the Support Team who responded quickly to my query. Although it took them some development team to resolve the issue they did keep me regularly updated on their progress and eventually the issue was resolved. I find the IOS app very intuitive and have had no further issues with my games. My Grand Kingdom Set still looks the impressive piece of technology kit I purchased on initial release, plays beautifully, still has the wow factor. Keep supporting the IOS app and continue to provide regular software updates please. All in all, a fantastic chess board and playing experience, and one that I have no hesitation in highly recommending. Keep up the great work!

Miko Chess

This is an amazing chess board and the customer service is amazing! They answered all my questions!

Great app!

Works really well and allow to play chess on a real chessboard with people from everywhere

Terrible

Avoid this product.

The board looks impressive but the performance is awful. The app is painfully slow, constantly disconnects, and half the features donโ€™t even work. The motor is loud, the piece movement is slow, and the whole thing feels badly built.

Thereโ€™s no proper practice mode, no customisable sounds, and you canโ€™t even play purely from your phone without relying on the board โ€” which defeats the point.

It could have been a great idea, but the execution is terrible. For the price, this is a joke. Spend your money elsewhere.

Grand Kingdom

I have had the Grand Kingdom chess set for several years. It has been working perfectly. Lately I had a software glitch. I emailed support and they contacted me and resolved the issue very quickly. I was impressed with their knowledge and response.

I love playing chess with Miko

The app is great. It connects quickly to my Miko Chess Grand board. Even without the board, I can play chess anywhere with the app and I still get the great feedback about my games. The app is perfect for people of all skill levels.

Miko Grand Chess board

Iโ€™m Sharvaanica A S and I received the Miko DGT Grand Chess Board after winning gold at the Under 10 World Cadet Chess Championship 2025 in Kazakhstan and itโ€™s absolutely amazing!

The boardโ€™s automatic piece movement, smooth sensors, and online play features make every game feel professional. Itโ€™s beautifully designed, easy to connect, and perfect for training from custom puzzles. I love how it brings real and digital chess together seamlessly.

Great App

This app works with all of my Miko chess sets. I have the NEO, Grand Wisdom, Grand Chess and the Pro and love them all. I am retired and disabled so I dont get out much. I use this app to play against the Miko AI which has 32 levels of challenging play and with the automatic piece movement, itโ€™s like playing against a real person. I also use the app to connect to chess.com and lichess to play against my children and other players from around the world and have made a lot of friends that I play against regularly. The customer service is AMAZING !! They are very responsive and have resolved any issues I have had quickly. Thank you Miko !!!

Chess.com is back !

Now that the major bugs have been fixed, it's a great app and works great with SquareOff Pro. I think it's the best value for money on the market right now.
